This a node usage issue, not PostgreSQL. That said you seem to be wanting
to use a prepared statement yet the syntax you show is a direct query. In a
direct/literal query parameters (whether they be of the "?" or "$#" form)
are not allowed/understood. Where in the code provided do you even attempt
to assign values to ${1-5}?

You either need to replace "${1-5}" with actual data or figure out how to
execute prepared queries in node. The later is recommended since it is the
more secure way of doing things.

<goes looking at node-postgres>

Supposedly the "r" variable holds the array of five values you want to map
onto ${1-5}. You do not show where "r" gets defined so maybe it is
undefined and thus you are not actually mapping values?
